Chapter 357 More Shacha Sauce In My Kway Teow
There were only less than 30 hours left until Evil Scientist opened the s.p.a.ce portal.
Zhang Heng and his team had come up to the Shangxiajiu Commercial Pedestrian Streets. Located in Liwan District, a traditional business district in old Guangzhou, it stretched more than 300 meters. Featuring a whopping 300 shops offering a variety of food and merchandise, the place was always jam-packed with tourists from all corners of the world.
“How did you know he’s here? We’ve been suspecting that he must have plotted something after Vandal King disappeared. We even gathered a team to search for him, but unfortunately, we found n.o.body. His face is usually covered when he commits crimes, and no one has seen how he really looks. He’s even more difficult to identify now, considering such a long time has pa.s.sed,” said the bald man.
“The reason why you can’t find him is that someone has been misleading you,” Zhang Heng chipped in.
When Zhang Heng entered the parallel dungeon, Vandal King had already disappeared for more than two years, and the master builders never stopped looking for him. He too partic.i.p.ated in the search, and unlike the others, got some useful information, eventually discovering the whereabouts of Vandal King. However, since Vandal King had nothing to do with his main quest, Zhang Heng didn’t pursue the matter further.
Four years had pa.s.sed since that time, and Zhang Heng was unsure if he was still there, so he searched for the location with his mobile phone in the KTV.
“Misleading us, what do you mean?” the waiter scratched his head as he walked over to Flame Girl. Then, he saw a figure not far away, and immediately, his eyes lit up, “Ha, isn’t that Flame Girl?! Wow! I haven’t seen her for a long time. Since Vandal King disappeared, she applied for retirement as well. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see these old faces again. Maybe we should ask her to come out of retirement and fight Evil Scientist with us. I still remember how her flames were so powerful, they disintegrated everything in this world.”
The five were outside the Chaoshan Kway Teow shop. The woman known as Flame Girl was busy wiping a table, not bothering to turn around even after hearing footsteps behind her.
“Come, sit, what would you like to eat?”
“Hi, Flame Girl, I didn’t know that you worked here. We are in trouble. Evil Scientist wants to destroy the city. We need your help. I’d also like a bowl of beef kway teow. Guess I’ll be hungry soon.”
The waiter grabbed a stool and sat down.
The somewhat familiar name shocked the woman who was wiping the table. This time, she finally turned around. “Demon Butcher?” she gasped.
“And me…” the bald man came over, “Long time no see, old friend.”
“Sorry, who are you?” Flame Girl frowned.
The bald man covered the hairless part of his head with his palm.
“Oh, it’s you, the guy who’s been stalking Candy Baby! You need to improve your ability to pick gifts! How could a man give a girl Sophie as a gift?” “No, you got the wrong person. I’m just an ordinary pa.s.ser-by watching the show,” the bald man said solemnly. “I was just about to introduce these two people beside me. They are the chosen ones, and the one who doesn’t speak is Messenger.”
“Well, what brings you here?” Flame Girl asked as she put away the rags in her hand. “As I said, we need your help…” the waiter continued. “…and, can you put more Shacha sauce in my kway teow?”
“Sorry I can’t help you. As you can see, I am no longer a master builder. Now, I am an ordinary self-employed worker… and there is nothing wrong with the kway teow,” Flame Girl shrugged.
